I take jelly in little pots for pudding... I make it up on a sunday night a that lasts a few days... nice and cheap too!Man plans and God laughs...Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.0

thanks Ladyhawk, I'm after new ideas for my sons' lunchboxes come Sept, that's a good one and I can slip a bit of fruit in too
I was also thinking of home made sausage rolls - whip the meat out of a pack of good sausages, add herbs or chopped apple etc, ready rolled pastry, bake a batch and freeze some - and maybe pasties - similar approach but chicken in white sauce, mince and veg, etc. also a hot food flask, for spag bol, remains of last night's dinner, soup, cold pasta/rice salad etc. have just lashed out £4 on 2 new sandwich boxes, given school lunches are now about £2.50 a day it won't take me long to pay for those!0 -
I send my hubby to work with a pack-up of what we've had for the previous night's tea by cooking extra.0

I'm a bit of a geek like that !When you spend so long on the boards, you do tend to just remember old threads. SOmetimes i am literally using key words to search and find threads i didn't know existed.
For those links, i advanced searched the following words in "title only"
Lunch, Lunches, sandwich, sandwiches, sandwich meat (which i remember that thread specifically) and cousccous, soup etc are all the kind of things i would take to work.
if anyone needs help learning the search function, it really is so terribly easy :j
In the top right hand side, click - search this forum. Then select advanced search. In the next screen , top left, make sure it's selected to "titles only".
Type in - lunch - and, hit "search now" you will see the above links. Easy peasy.A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

I rarely take sandwiches as they bore me but take leftovers, hm soup, have some tins of soup and ravioli and tinned fruit with ring pull tops so easy to use at work in my drawer for days where couldnt be bothered to make something.
Huband has sandwiches and takes either a sandwich or roll with marmite, cheese, sausages, ham, pork luncheon meat, salad, jam he isnt fussed. The other bits he varies in luncbox are cheese triangle or cheese piece (babybel, mini cheddar block etc if on offer), chocolate bar, cake, cherry toms, sliced cucumber, fruit, crisps, malt load, mini hot cross buns.0
